Thanks everyone for the kind words. We are trying our best and hope that we start seeing improvement with the skin. Sasha has been a woderful dog and we love her so much. We have another fur baby brindle boxer named Haley who is 7 and wants her sister to get better also. She misses chasing...

My seven year old female hacks especially when its warm outside and after running around. Usually a small amount of white foam comes out and after a few times she stops. I was told this is normal for boxers. I was also told that this may be a sign of some type of heart problem. Does anyone...
